The 2023 City of Kokomo Christmas Parade wound through downtown on Saturday, delighting hundreds of kids and their families with bright lights, Christmas carols, and plenty of treats flung from floats.
Downtown transformed into a holiday hotspot, with carolers on stage and costumed cavorters in the crowd. Elsa and Olaf took time away from their Nordic home for some photos, and the Grinch was seemingly everywhere, from hanging out on a Kokomo Fire Department ladder truck to skidding along on a motorized Big Wheel to getting singed by the tailpipes of a rather fiery Hog Runner Motorcycle Club chopper.
The crowd gathered early, taking advantage of the miniature train ride along Sycamore Street, visiting live reindeer and holiday ponies, and staking out seating for the parade. When the parade finally started, nearly 100 entrants made their way past the stage on Main Street, much to the delight of those in attendance.
